Christmas 2011 Recap

on January 2, 2012

Dear Friends, I get it. You are over Christmas and you probably don’t want to hear anything else about the holidays until November. However, I feel I have to recap our Christmas this year even if just for posterity. Bear with me, okay?

Christmas 2011

Lacey & Reid each asked Santa for three gifts this year.

Lacey

1.sled*

2.scooter

3.sleeping bag

*Yes, it was 60 degrees on Christmas.

Reid

1.basketball goal

2. ride-on toy

3. surprise (Thomas rainboots)

They also got gifts from grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins so it is a good thing that we kept our Santa list small.

We hosted Christmas brunch at our house. We had dinner at my parents’ house later.

This was my favorite Christmas {with kids} to date. We have dealt with sickness the last couple of years and although both kids were getting over a cold, it was a non-factor. This was the year of the right amount of toys which is always a tough balancing act. Reid was old enough to participate and enjoy all of our holiday traditions which doubled the fun. I’m thankful for another Christmas with my 91 year old grandmother who always manages to keep things interesting.

Happy New Year, friends! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. Now, back to reality…
